**Egypt Set to Face Togo in Friendly Ahead of 2018 World Cup Qualifiers**
Egypt and Togo are scheduled to meet in a friendly match on October 13 as both nations prepare for the second round of the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
The encounter will provide valuable match practice for the two teams, who currently top their respective groups in the qualifiers for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), each having secured six points. In recent fixtures, Togo secured a 2-0 victory over Djibouti, while Egypt impressively defeated Chad 5-1.
Their last friendly clash took place in May 2012, when Egypt triumphed 3-0 thanks to a brace from Mohamed Salah and a goal by Ahmed Gedo. Both sides will be eager to use the upcoming fixture to fine-tune their squads ahead of the crucial World Cup qualifying matches in November.
